In 2019, we can’t afford to not get political, even with escapist entertainment. So even though Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels reboot is a high-stakes, globe-trotting spy thriller comedy, she still made sure to send a message with extreme real-world ties within the story about female spies: “Believe women.”
Letting female rage express itself was one of the most important aspects of the new installment of the Charlie’s Angels franchise, Banks, who directed, wrote and co-stars, tells Collider along with a small group of journalists. “One of the ingredients of this movie was supporting and believing women,” she says. “We literally have a character who is essentially working at a big corporation and is not being believed or listened to by her bosses.”
Charlie’s Angels, starring Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinska and Naomi Scott as the new iteration of badass female spies, centers on Scott’s character Elena when she’s just a normal civilian as she hires the Townsend Agency to help uncover a sinister plot she discovered within a large tech company. Her journey towards becoming an Angel herself is the story of the new movie, set in the same world as the original ‘70s TV series, 2000 movie and 2003 sequel.
“One of the statements this movie makes is that you should probably believe women,” Banks adds. “We have as much validity in what we’re feeling and how we want to go about living in the world, being in the world, and that was really important to me, that we felt like we had characters that were being taken seriously and given a chance to live their best life.”

No, no no! We need more woke wokeness! The computer genius will be a transgender latinix midget who’s visually impaired and has a seeing-eye monkey who does all the computer code hacking.
Jaclyn was the prettiest, but Cheryl was the full package. Pretty but with a killer bod. I’m glad other men found Farrah incredible because i didn’t have to feel bad that she never did anything for me.
The best PC person ever is so non PC. Bushwick Bill. A one eyed midget Black rapper with stage 4 cancer.
Geto Boys Son!

Well, that’s different! Ha-ha.
What studio head said, “If you want to send a message, send a telegram.”?
What you did there, I saw it.
lol...true enough.
How about Bruce Gender, same thing with him now because he wears a skirt?
True, but in Hollywood that doesn't matter. Everyone there just wants to prove they are woke.
These women are actresses pretending to be secret agents. Both professions are noted for having people pretend to be someone else.
They'd have to make them all queer or trannies.
I believe that many men have, and do, abuse women, and should be held accountable if guilty.
I also believe that women often delude themselves about their own choices and actions with men.
What is GB2016?
... and what about women that abuse men?
Stephenie Meyer wanted Michelle Trachtenberg to play the lead in Twilght, but she had contractual obligations elsewhere.
Will be skipping this movie then.
